    Most annoying phrases

    An a guy I used to work with managed to start nearly every sentence with "It's basically a case of..." or "What it boils down to". Annoying at first, funnier as time went by.

    If we were really lucky he'd combine the two into "What it basically boils down to, its a case of...", which doesn't really make any sense at all.

    What are the most annoying phrases you've heard?
    Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

          Anything said on Friends
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                The worst, and I mean THE WORST is when someone working on a till says, "Well done." after the transaction has completed. It makes me feel quite violent.
